Our Network

Our Network

We manage the world's first and largest backbone dedicated to voice origination services.

For optimal quality the bandwidth is strictly dedicated to voice traffic and is not mixed with data.
Our network is powered by Cisco routers and switches providing predictible Quality of Service (QoS).

Over 40 VoIP switches and gateways are deployed globally over our network to ensure optimized routing with lowest possible latency.

Full Redundancy

Redundancy is the most critical aspect of any carrier-grade service.
Our complete infrastructure is designed with no single point of failure and meets the highest industry standards.

Network redundancy:
Every link in our private backbone has a backup link.
If any link fails our internal routing protocol re-routes the calls over a backup link in less then 2 seconds.

Systems and database redundancy:
All critical systems including all databases are configured in active/standby pairs for immediate and stateful failover in case the active system fails.

Signalling redundancy:
Our signalling proxies are configured in active/standby mode with subsecond failover.

Hardware redundancy:
Each Voxbone region is equipped with multiple VoIP switches and media gateways to mitigate the risk of hardware failures, and each superPOP has a minimum of two Cisco routers.

Datacenter redundancy:
In case of complete outage in one of our core datacenters all traffic would be immediately re-routed to another datacenter.

NOC redundancy:
Two geographically separate Voice Network Operation Centers (VNOC) located in Brussels, Belgium and Los Angeles, USA

Interconnecting to the Voxbone VoIP network

Several options are available for interconnecting with Voxbone:

1.Using the public Internet
This is the fastest and easiest way to interconnect with Voxbone.
Our network (AS 41135) is directly connected to the following IP transit carriers for complete redundancy and optimal connectivity to customer networks:

• Colt Telecom
• Globalcrossing
• Interoute
• Level3
• Peer1
• Savvis
• Telia
• Tiscali International
• T-Systems
• UUNet

For BGP peering requests please contact peering (at) voxbone.com

2.Using a private IP link
Customers in need of end-to-end guarantees and QoS but unable to physically interconnect to one of our superPOPs may use a third party IP carrier to remotely interconnect to the Voxbone network.
Customers may use static routing or BGP routing with fallback over the Internet.

3.Using a direct physical interconnect in one of our superPOPs.
Interconnect straight into the Voxbone network. This is the most secure solution and meets the highest quality and reliability standards.
Customers may use static routing or BGP routing with fallback over the Internet.
There are currently three superPOPs available for a direct interconnect, at the following locations:

• Telx, 60 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10013, USA
• Interxion, Wezembeekstraat 2, 1930 Zaventem, Belgium
• iAdvantage, 399 Chai Wan Road, Chai Wan, Hong Kong, China
• CRG West,One Wilshire 624 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90017, USA
• Ancotel, Kleyerstraße 90, 60326 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
